Your favourite book?

So recently I noticed that I have been reading alot less then when I was younger. Post your favourite book so I can learn some good titles.

Don't really read books too often, but I really loved World War Z. Best zombie anything imo.

I've had the same favorite book since I was nine: Where the Red Fern Grows.

I have to say The Hobbit, I think it's the best story ever told, honestly. It's 10/10 gold.

Hands down, World War Z.

Just to add something new to the topic as well, day by day armageddon is an amazing zombie book.

Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch by Neil Gaiman & Terry Pratchetttestfactor888

Unfortunately I cant say iv'e only read about 15-20 books (and have forgot about half of them) so not a lot to go buy, but i'd say maybe the hobbit and animal farm.

ive had the same favourite book now for nearly 8 years (since i started reading :)) Legend - David Gemmell, great heroic fantasy author pity he didnt get more recognition before he died RIP.

Hell Yeah. Great book.

This

the good soldier svejk by jaroslav hasek

Not Necessarily one book, but a whole book series, and that book series is a Song of Ice and Fire.This is the first book, A Game of Thrones...

I cannot wait for the HBO series, from the behind the scenes that came on last night and the latest trailer it looks amazingly good!

What is so special about World War Z that it makes non-readers interested in books? It takes up half the responses in any "favorite books" thread.

For me, it's one of these (out of all fiction). They all have special qualities of awesomeness.

(cheating a bit with those last two, they're compilations)

Artemis Fowl: The Etirnity Code

I have to say The Hobbit, I think it's the best story ever told, honestly. It's 10/10 gold.

ANlMOSITY

Books of Blood by Cliver Barker. People who read books would of read it already, otherwise they should be playing Halo on Xbox live untiltheir mommys made their tea.

My top 5 favorite stories in decending order from the books would be

5) The Yattering and Jack

4) Rawhead Rex

3) In the Hills, the cities.

2) How Spoilers Bleed

1) Jacqueline Ess: Her Will and Testemament

But then I like all the stories of that book, especially the very short story about a man who tries to build his own Hell on Earth.

Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton

These are my current favorite series: Warriors, Percy Jackson & the Olympians, Left Behind, and The Inheritance Cycle(consisting of Eragon, Eldest and Brisingr)

My favorite non-seriesed book probably is Stephen King's Under the Dome, Firestarter and Howling Moon

Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch by Neil Gaiman & Terry Pratchetttestfactor888

Good choice. ;)

Mine is Needful things by Stephen King.

the eragon series

The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss.

Watchmen

- Harry Potter (obviously)

- "The House of the Scorpion" by Nancy Farmer

- "On the Road" by Jack Kerouac

- "Candide" by Voltaire

- "Behold a Pale Horse" by Milton William Cooper

In spirit of my sig I guess I'll say A Storm of Swords part 1 and 2. Certainly the best fantasy book I've read.

Oh yes, here are the covers (the British ones mind you, not the sucky American ones);

Anyway, I could rant about it forever, but tl;dr version is - a brilliantly real set of characters, writing that makes the 1300 total pages or so go in no time, plus a story and universe better than LotR. I love LotR.

The Bible

This one's always tough for me to answer. Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, but only because I read it recently.

Man do we have different tastes. I think Ayn Rand is probably the worst well known author of the 20th century (IMHO, you're entitled to yours, of course:) ). I read 700 pages of Atlas Shrugged and was ready to rip out every page and put it through a shredder by that point. I'm honestly really proud that I got that far before I gave up lol.

Inkheart has to be my favorite fantasy book of all-time, it's the first in a trilogy starting with Inkheart, moving into Inkspell, and the final book Inkdeath, don't be fooled by the crap job of a movie that was loosely based on this that starred Brendan Fraser.

Darkly Dreaming Dexter, it's the first in a series of books, this is a great series and it's what gave Showtime one of their greatest shows of all time.

This is a great book about being a teenager, it also deals with the subjects of working too hard and depression, the book has some incredibly funny moments, the characters are very relatable, and it's an amazing read.

Meant so much to me when I had read it

Edit: Horrible picture, it`s The Perks of Being a Wallflower

my favorites are James Patterson's Cross series.

fave book in the series is:

heh, to each his own:)

Noughts and Crosses by Malorie Blackman

It's an incredible book, about a world where Noughts (white people) are inferior and Crosses (black people) rule society. It follows two characters who fall in love despite one being a Nought and the other a Cross. It's not a soppy romantic novel either, it follows the political rebellion and how the two main characters get wrapped up in it all. Definitely a worthwhile read, it'll really get you thinking :)
